By Bill Bike By Mike Marek Volume 57 Number 9 Former Student Is Slain The decapitated corpse found stuffed into the trunk of a car last week was identified as belonging to a former DePaul student.

According to Dinello, all referral, consultive, crisis, or Mental Health Clinic Limits Adult Services emergency services will still be open to other Universityrelated individuals. Next fall will also see an increase in University funding sufficient to support an additional full-time staff position. While the center does see problems at all levels, according to Dinello, the most frequent student-related problem is "students who are having some Basketball Supplement Inside The DePaulia parked near the uptown campus.

His body was found clad in postal uniform slacks. which will eventually be applied to all of the important student systems. These objectives are to: •ensure the intergrity of the student's account •reconcile all cash collected •see that all appropriate transactions are documented •reconcile all student account related transactions within each office •verify data transfer from the University's Hewlett-Packard computer system to its main IBM data base. "Our idea is to start small, then tackle the big systems like drop and add and housing" said Watson. According to Beaudoin, there are plans "to get all the bugs out" of the new system before it is implimented in other, more important parts of the University.According to both Watson and Beaudoin, as the systems approach is implemented in different offices of the University students will notice more speed and accuracy in the processing of their information, and more accessability to their records. In general, information will flow more smoothly between the many different offices and departments.
